Eighteen-wheelers, trailers of any type, boats,<br />
recreational vehicles <strong>and</strong> all motorized off-road vehicles<br />
are prohibited on campus.<br />
Any vehicle found in violation of these restrictions may<br />
be subject to a ticket, wheel lock or towing at the owner’s<br />
expense.<br />
Operating any type of vehicle on campus is regulated<br />
by the College police department <strong>and</strong> requires your<br />
cooperation with all guidelines <strong>and</strong> safe-driving<br />
practices. As a TSTC student or employee, it is your<br />
responsibility to be familiar with these regulations <strong>and</strong><br />
abide by them at all times. Read over the regulations<br />
carefully so you will avoid traffic <strong>and</strong> parking violations<br />
during your stay on campus. Additional information about<br />
parking regulations, violations <strong>and</strong> fees can be found at<br />

reclaimed at the College Police Department, the Security<br />
Department or designated office for each campus Monday<br />

Office of <strong>Student</strong> Success<br />
The Office of <strong>Student</strong> Success coordinates <strong>and</strong><br />
implements student success initiatives that provide<br />
students with opportunities to achieve their academic,<br />
career, <strong>and</strong> personal goals.<br />
<strong>Student</strong> Success initiatives include:<br />
• Supplemental Instruction <strong>and</strong> Tutoring services include<br />
tutoring sessions in academic <strong>and</strong> technical subject<br />
areas. Tutoring services are provided face-to-face as<br />
well as virtually, through the use of online tools <strong>and</strong><br />
platforms, <strong>and</strong> MyTSTC Video Library. The video library<br />
consists of short video tutorials developed by our Peer<br />

<strong>and</strong> chemistry, as well as some technical subject areas.<br />

virtually <strong>and</strong> remotely. In-person tutoring or mentoring<br />
is currently not available.<br />
• The HATSS Mentoring Program (Helping a TSTC <strong>Student</strong><br />
Succeed) which provides mentoring, guidance <strong>and</strong><br />
academic support to students on scholastic <strong>and</strong>/or<br />
financial aid suspension appeal.<br />
• A referral system where students can be referred to<br />
campus <strong>and</strong> community resources.<br />
• Seminars <strong>and</strong> workshops on academic policies, testtaking<br />
strategies, learning strategies, time management,<br />
GPA <strong>and</strong> Completion Rate Forecasting, <strong>and</strong> related<br />
topics.<br />
Helping a TSTC <strong>Student</strong> Succeed (HATSS)<br />
Mentoring Program<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s in the HATSS Mentoring Program are required to<br />
participate in all program interventions. HATSS Mentoring<br />
Program students who fail to participate risk being<br />
administratively withdrawn from all their classes, even<br />
when staff is unable to reach the student to let them know<br />
they are being administratively dropped. HATSS Mentoring<br />
Program students administratively withdrawn, who fail<br />
their classes, or who drop all their classes on their own,<br />
will be suspended for the following semester. Suspended<br />
students who wish to return to TSTC will again be required<br />
to appeal through the HATSS Mentoring Program. Past<br />
participation in HATSS Mentoring Program interventions, or<br />
lack thereof, will be considered for the appeal request.<br />
